RE: [PyMOL] conformational states in the mutagenesis wizard

2005-08-12 Thread Warren DeLano
Xavier,

PyMOL 0.99beta09 and earlier use a crude backbone-independent rotamer
library.

However, current development versions (PyMOL 0.99beta10 on up) now
provide both the Dunbrack backbone-dependent and backbone-independent
rotamers.

Cheers,
Warren

Re: [PyMOL] Shadows

2005-08-12 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Corinne, Sabuj,

You're right with regards to the CGO. An example script (written by
Gareth Stockwell) can be found at
http://md.chem.rug.nl/~tsjerk/Scripts/walls.py. With regards to the
raytracing, don't be fooled, I'd say this was Pymol's internal
raytracer :)

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk

Re: [PyMOL] What is the best 3 button mouse for PyMOL on a Mac OSX?

2005-08-12 Thread Sabuj Pattanayek
I use a cheap microsoft optical (or basic optical) usb mouse on linux, 
so it should work on your macosx.


If you want something more configurable under macosx and don't want to 
destroy the "Appleness" of your computer with an MS mouse then this 
might work for you http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/ . I hear there will 
be a wireless version soon.

[PyMOL] conformational states in the mutagenesis wizard

2005-08-12 Thread Xavier Deupi

Hi,

I've just realized that through the mutagenesis wizard you can 
view/select different conformations for a sidechain. I've been playing 
around, and it seems that the conformations are selected according to a 
backbone-independent rotamer library. Am I correct? Which library has 
been used?


I would also like to know if there is anybody out there using the 
rotamer toggle plugin. I've just installed it, and although it seems 
extremely useful, it makes PyMOL very slow to start. I'm running PyMOL 
0.98 for MacOSX in a PowerBook G4 1GHz with 1Gb of RAM (running MacOS X 
10.4.2)


Thanks in advance,

Xavier

RE: [PyMOL] Newline character in scene annotation message

2005-08-12 Thread Warren DeLano
Carsten,

Hmm...

Unfortunately, the PyMOL command language currently provide any way of
expressing a newline character, so you will need to use the API form of
the scene command.  Note that it is perfectly legal to use that form in
a ".pml" file as follows, without an intervening variable:

cmd.scene("new","store","line1\nline2")

Cheers,
Warren

[PyMOL] Newline character in scene annotation message

2005-08-12 Thread Schubert, Carsten [PRDUS]
Hi

I am trying to combine a scene with annotations spanning several lines.
So far something like 
> scene new, store, message="Line1\nLine2"

would produce some nice coloration effects but not a newline character.

I was able to use the api function to do the trick
>mesg="line1\nline2"
>cmd.scene("new","store",message=mesg)

but I was wondering is there a way to use the non API function in the same
way?

Thanks

RE: [PyMOL] Saving a carved section of a map.

2005-08-12 Thread Warren DeLano
Hi Carsten,

This isn't yet possible from within PyMOL, but it will be soon since it
is a recurring request.  In the meantime unforutnately, you will need to
truncate the maps outside of PyMOL in order to generate smaller session
files.

Sorry about that!

Cheers,
Warren

[PyMOL] Saving a carved section of a map.

2005-08-12 Thread Schubert, Carsten [PRDUS]
Hi 

I was wondering if it is possible to save a carved out section of a map and
the read it back into pymol as a separate map. The background is that I'd
like to distribute .psw files with a couple of maps, but they get rather
large (>50 MB) since the map data is not compressed in pymol. I am only
interested in a small portion of the map centered around a ligand and some
residues, so the rest of the map would be unnecessary since it will not be
shown anyway. 
I have tried if mapman could do the trick but apparently not. I could
probably restrict the calculation of the map to be only centered around a
region of interest, but was wondering if this would be possible in pymol.


Thanks

Carsten

Re: [PyMOL] Setting transparency for CGOs

Hi,

I've done this by rendering two images (actually 4 to get stereo). One without
the CGOs and one with them. Then I overlaid them with photoshop and changed the
trasnparency of the CGO containing layer. I just used triangles and it looked
rather nice.
